Interior Designer Cleaned Out Of RM794,000 By 'Csecdt' Online Investment Scam
GEORGE TOWN, June 19 (Bernama) -- An interior designer from Bukit Mertajam lost RM794,000 after falling victim to an online investment syndicate recently. Penang police chief Datuk Hamzah Ahmad said the victim, a 47-year-old woman, came forward to file a report with the Commercial Crime Investigation Division of the Seberang Perai Tengah district police headquarters on Monday, claiming she had been cheated by a syndicate known as 'Csecdt'. "In early April 2025, the victim claimed to have seen a high-return investment, advertised on Facebook and she contacted the suspect, a woman via the Whatsapp. "Through the investment scheme, the victim was promised a 100 per cent profit for each capital sum invested within a short period of time," he said in a statement tonight. According to Hamzah, the victim was convinced with the online investment and was duly asked to download the 'Csecdt' application to register as a member and to start investing. He said the victim then made seven money transfer transactions into seven bank accounts belonging to different companies, between April 11 and June 3. "The victim first realised she had been cheated when she wanted to withdraw profits amounting to RM2 million but she was instead asked to pay a withdrawal tax of RM200,000 first, and decided to lodge a police report," he said. He said investigations were still underway and the case was being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. -- BERNAMA

KLIA Customs officers foil RM2.65 mln drug smuggling attempts
SEPANG: Customs officers have foiled multiple attempts to smuggle 30.14 kilogrammes (kg) of drugs estimated to be worth RM2.65 million through the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). KLIA Customs director Zulkifli Muhammad said that on April 17, a man was arrested for trying to smuggle out 14.65 kg of cannabis buds worth almost RM1.44 million in his checked baggage on a flight to a European country. He said the man was subjected to a baggage inspection after his travel was blocked by the Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) due to a blacklist record. 'During the baggage scan, the man attempted to flee but was apprehended by Customs personnel. 'The inspection found that the cannabis buds were packed in vacuum-sealed plastic to avoid detection,' he told a press conference today. Zulkifli said on May 16, Customs found 5.31 kg of ecstasy worth almost RM900,000 that was being smuggled in through a consignment at a cargo terminal operator in the KLIA Free Trade Zone. He said the drugs, believed to have originated from a European country, were packaged and declared as laptop components. Then, on May 24, he said that 10.18 kg of syabu, worth nearly RM300,000, concealed in a consignment along with clothing, was also intercepted. He said investigations into both drug shipments are underway, but face obstacles as the smugglers were likely using fake company names and addresses. 'We have gone to the (premises) as declared in the consignment information, but the company either does not exist or is using someone else's address,' he said.
